Los Angeles Fire Department Captain Steve Ruda said paramedics responded to a 911 call at Jackson's home around 12:26 p.m. He was not breathing when they arrived. The paramedics performed CPR and took him to UCLA Medical Center, Ruda says.

Jackson is renting a home in the Holmby Hills in the 100 block of Carolwood Drive off Sunset Boulevard. It is about two minutes from the UCLA Medical Center.

Family members have been called and are on their way to UCLA, sources say.

UCLA officials are not releasing any details about the pop star's condition.

Regardless of whether I liked him or not, it just feels...weird not having him there. He's sort of like the huge tree you have in the backyard and never pay attention to for years and years, until somebody comes along and cuts it down and you feel...like something's missing.

Anyway, his early music was fantastic. He's too complex and contradicted for me to form an opinion on the man himself, though. I guess this is what it felt like to lose Elvis.

His death was in all the evening news, one of the channels is doing an impromptu documentation about his life and death.
Also, there were three more of his songs on the radio. More than you usually get in a week...
